NEW YORK (CNN) -- Immigrant rights activists are calling on U.S. retailers to stop selling two controversial "Illegal Alien" costumes that have surfaced for Halloween, saying the outfits are a broadside attack on illegal immigrants. The "Illegal Alien Adult Costume," manufactured by Forum novelties, includes an orange jumpsuit, similar to prison garb, with "Illegal Alien" stamped in black across the chest; a space alien mask; and a fake Green Card. The "Illegal Alien Mask with Hat" also includes a space alien mask, this time with a dark handlebar mustache and a baseball cap

Whining leftist vermin. Just before he died at age 96 my dad said the reason all this is going on is because we no longer take evil people behing the woodshed and beat the crap out of them anymore like they used to.

And no more prisoner costumes. A blatant attack on all criminals.

I thought the costume was pretty clever. Progressives just have no sense of humor.

Sounds like funny costumes. We SHOULD be making broadside attacks against ILLEGAL aliens. They are criminals. I see no reason to be “sensitive” to them whatsoever.

I have a friend, Harvard PhD in education, who says that we shouldn’t let kids dress up in American Indian costumes. Not PC.

The immigrants to the United States from around the world is generally welcomed, it is these illegal line jumpers and those who ask permission to stay for a reason, then decline to go back home when that reason is over with, that should annoy the heck out of everyone.

As for ‘immigrant rights groups’, they're outright liars. The lines at the consulates here in Los Angeles around election times in other nations makes it quite clear that none of these people intend to be immigrants in the slightest. They are here to take advantage of us, while maintaining loyalties to their home nations. They don't want to be part of us, why should we care about their opinions in anything.

I couldn’t care less what illegal aliens or their advocates think. They only make me want to run out and buy that costume.

I want to know, where are the Witch’s Rights Legal Association to whine about witch costumes? The same goes for Pirates, Cowboys, Ballerinas, Ghosts and Superheroes. Why aren’t these groups complaining?

Fine. I’ll make my own and it will include a sombrero, poncho, fake green card, and bag of oranges.

Can’t dress up as any stereotypical Rapist, Murderer, Drug Dealer, Prisoner, Lawyer, Judge, Hollywood Celebrity, Democrat or Communist.

It’s just a blatant broadside attack!

Toooo funny!

Oh, I know you were making a joke. I just wanted to point out that the withces actually are a group that has been whining about costumes.

I wasn’t slamming you at all. It just that I came up with something ridiculous, but it wasn’t too ridiculous for reality.
